Come be an MVP for the Muscular Dystrophy Association

While it’s true that Chris and I spend most of our time bloviating about other people’s on-field performances, today we’re flipping the script a bit.

He and I will be playing in a charity softball game tonight with other local media folks — including WNYT meteorologists Bob Kovachick and Jason Gough — and the Albany Dutchmen to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

This year’s game is being played in honor of Derek Murphy, a fourth-grader from North Greenbush, who was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy at the age of 2. You can read more about Derek and the gamehere.

The game is being played at 7 p.m. tonight at Saint Rose’s Christian Plumeri Sports Complex on Frisbie Avenue in Albany (otherwise known as Hoffman Park).
